Before performing the song, Madonna asked the audience if they remembered the theme tune and sang a few lines acapella to jog people’s memories. The crowd quickly joined in, surprising Madonna who playfully joked, ‘I thought only 10 of you would know it. Turns out 20 of you knew it. I’m just kidding.’

As fans eagerly await Madonna’s next album, which she recently teased, this live performance of ‘This Used To Be My Playground’ has left them nostalgic for her earlier hits. The track originally appeared on her groundbreaking 1998 album ‘Ray of Light‘ produced by William Orbit.
